China Photography Quiz October 23, 2008
Posted by Jennifer in : travel , trackbackI took literally thousands of photographs on my trip to China, (which I blogged on extensively for uschess.org). I wasn’t happy with my ratio of great to forgettable photos. In the digital age, taking hundreds of photos may not batter my wallet, the environment or take up space in dusty boxes. But snapping away costs time and energy, plus I had to delete or store hundreds of crappy pictures. China has inspired me to get my lens checked out and commit to being a better photographer so perhaps I can get 5 good photos out of 100 shots, rather than 5 out of 1000.
Here’s a quiz for photo geeks: I took two cameras with me to China, my trusty and lunky Nikon D70, valued at about $1000 and my tiny $150 Casio. Can you guess which of the following photos were taken by which camera? Four were by the Nikon, four by the Canon. I will post the answers in a comment to this blog.
1.
2.

I’m not really a photo geek but I’ll say that the last four are [CASIO] shots.
I guess Casio: 1,2,6,8
Nikon: 3,4,5,7
Not sure about 7 though — that’s a pretty wide angle. Maybe swap with 2.
Nikon: 1, 2, 3 & 7
Casio: 4, 5, 6 & 8
Nikon pic’s 2-3-5-7
Casio pic’s 1-4-6-8
OK Jennifer, I give up.
Hello Jennifer,
I like #7, can you enlarge it? I think we need to see more shots of you and Shirley.
#7 Poster?
1,3,5 and 7 were from the Nikon. 2,5,6 and 8 from the Casio. 2 is the tough one because it’s a great photo from a tiny camera. I took about 100 awful photos in the surreal bar and I felt frustrated because they were all blurry. I was about to hop in the elevator with the rest of the group but instead I gave it one last shot (literally), and was later astonished that it was the best pic of my trip.
